In other situations, more accurate estimates of carotenoid electronic energies may be required. The S (2 Ag) state ofjS-carotene (E 14,500 cm" inn-hexane) appears to lie somewhat below the S,(Qy) state of chlorophyll a (e.g., E 14,700 cm in the light-harvesting complex of Photosystem II (Kwa et al. 1992). This suggests thatthe Sj state of j3-carotene must be involved in energy transfer (Cosgrove et al., 1990 DeCoster et al., 1992 Frank and Christensen,...
